Quick Wear: My love-brained childhood sweetheart always asks me for a kiss

Empress Dowager Li was waiting in the Purple Palace where the emperor belonged. "I thought you were not going to come back to be the emperor."

Song Xuanchu felt a little guilty, "What are you talking about, mother?"

"Do you dare to say that you have never thought of taking her away today?" Empress Dowager Li glanced at him with a smile, then put the teacup heavily on the table.

Song Xuanchu's eyes wandered, "I still have memorials to deal with, so mother, please go back to the palace and rest first."

"Sure enough, what I said was right."

"But I still didn't go to see him, and I still came back." Song Xuanchu couldn't help but frowned, "Is there anything else that the Queen Mother is not satisfied with?"

"Emperor, you have to understand. From the moment you agreed to stamp the seal on me, Chi Tingwan has already been abandoned."

Song Xuanchu tensed up, "She is a chess piece, but she is not yet abandoned, right?"

"What? You're not still thinking of killing Song Shiyan and then marrying her back?" Seeing him silent, Queen Mother Li angrily threw the teacup at his feet!

"Now that you have ascended the throne, you are still thinking about these romantic things! You really disappoint me!"

"She won't consummate her marriage with the Emperor's uncle..."

"So what? From the moment they got married, she has been your uncle's woman! If you want to make her the queen, it depends on whether the ministers in the court agree or not!"

"I am marrying a queen for myself, why should they ask about it?" Song Xuanchu couldn't help but frowned, "If it weren't for before... he should have been mine a long time ago."

"If you want a dog to be obedient, you should give it some meat bones to coax it. But don't overdo it. I know you still need to win her over. If she can really help you get rid of Song Shiyan in the end, then it's okay to give her the title of concubine. If you really favor her, it's okay to make her a noble concubine. But I will never allow you to give her the title of queen!"

"If you insist on doing it your own way, you should also know my methods. I am the only one who can cure the poison in her body." Empress Dowager Li stood up leisurely and ordered the palace servants to come in and clean up. "The Emperor can continue to handle government affairs. I am tired."

Song Xuanchu clenched his fists.

I, the emperor, am really a coward...

At this time, the guests in the Regent's Palace had almost all left. Song Shiyan said that he would have someone send the keys and account books of the palace over tomorrow morning.

"If you need anything, tell the servants in the mansion to do it. Or you can come to me directly."

Chi Tingwan couldn't help but yawn, "Got it. Anything else?"

"That's all." After saying that, Song Shiyan left.

Qin Che was waiting in the study at this time.

"The Emperor has returned to the palace?"

"Yes. I heard that Empress Dowager Li has been waiting in the Purple Palace since the beginning of the evening hour. I guess she is worried that the Emperor might do something stupid."

Xu time: equivalent to 7 o'clock in the evening now.

Song Shiyan sneered, "Then she really doesn't know her son well enough."

His nephew has always valued power more than anything else. After finally ascending the throne, how could he let it go so easily?

"Have you arranged everything for her people?"

Qin Che immediately understood, "It's all arranged. Su Shu and Su Hua are both outstanding. One is good at medicine, and the other is good at martial arts."

"She's been acting very abnormal today, so we need to keep a closer eye on her."

Qin Che hesitated, "Could it be that the Emperor and the Queen Mother taught him?"

"It's possible. But if he was really pretending, it wouldn't be so similar." Song Shiyan said with certainty.

Qin Che agreed, "That's true." He had also been paying close attention to what was happening in the Prime Minister's Mansion over the years.

This Miss Chi is indeed talented and kindhearted. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is both virtuous and talented.

But she has always been straightforward. She always points out the people and things she doesn't like.

Moreover, he was fearless and even dared to confront the most favored imperial concubine in the palace for the sake of a palace maid.

Qin Che had always thought that Chi Tingwan's marriage tonight would cause a great deal of trouble. He never expected it to be so quiet.

In fact, Qin Che still admired Chi Tingwan in his heart. But he really couldn't praise Chi Tingwan's vision.

After all, she was the daughter of a prime minister and the most talented woman in Kyoto. How could her taste be so bad? How could she fall for that hypocrite Song Xuanchu?

And now that she has been pushed forward by him, she still has no regrets and is even determined to continue working for him.

To put it nicely, it's infatuation; to put it bluntly, it's stupidity.

Their prince is so nice. Although he is older, his age is not much different from Song Xuanchu. And he has never taken in concubines or maids since the establishment of the mansion...

Thinking too far ahead. Qin Che stopped the thought in his mind in time.

Why think about all this nonsense? Others don't know, but doesn't he know? The prince doesn't like her. He just cares about her kindness.

After all, the Emperor and the Queen Mother are too conceited.

Their prince is not the kind of person who would be obsessed with beauty.

Trying to use Chi Tingwan to achieve your goal was really a wrong move.

*

Chi Tingwan slept until six quarters past nine before waking up.

6:05 pm: Equivalent to 10:30 am now.

The housekeeper and maids were waiting outside the door. The first people Chi Tingwan saw were the maids Su Shu and Su Hua.

The two maids were quite honest. One said she was good at medicine, and the other said she was good at martial arts.

"It seems that there is no one who is good at make-up. From now on, Doukou and Peilan will be the ones to serve me closely."

Su Shu and Su Hua were not surprised. Their identities this time were not only maids, but also spies. It was against common sense for Chi Tingwan to treat them with intimacy and trust them very much.

After Chi Tingwan finished washing and dressing, the housekeeper and the maids hurried in.

"Meet the princess."

"Well, everyone, get up."

The butler smiled and said, "Princess, I have brought all the keys and account books in the palace for you. The roster of the palace is also included. Now all the servants are waiting for your lecture."

"Got it. Don't worry, let's discuss it after I have my meal. Yesterday I asked Doukou to go to the kitchen to give instructions. I think the chefs in the mansion know my taste."

"Of course." An old maid suddenly responded with a smile, "I will tell them to serve the meal right away."

Chi Tingwan rubbed his brows and said, "Thank you for your help."

"You are so polite, Princess."

After all the food was served, Chi Tingwan raised his eyes to look at the old nanny who had spoken earlier, "Judging from the nanny's attitude just now, she should also be a housekeeper. Then I'd like to trouble you to come with the housekeeper to introduce the situation in the mansion."

"I have only stayed with the prince for a few more years. However, if the princess has any doubts, I will tell her everything I know."

Chi Tingwan smiled faintly and said, "That's great."

After they introduced the basic situation, Chi Tingwan had already finished his breakfast.

At this moment, Song Shiyan walked in. "Are you awake? In that case, pack up and follow me into the palace."

The day after the wedding, they did need to go to the palace to express their gratitude. Originally, they should have gone early in the morning, but Song Shiyan felt that this matter was not urgent, and Chi Tingwan had been sleeping, so he sent someone to tell Queen Mother Li and Song Xuanchu.

"There's nothing to pack, let's go now."

The rest of them kept silent.

The fact that Song Shiyan and Chi Tingwan did not consummate their marriage last night was known to everyone in the mansion.

Everyone knows that their current princess was supposed to be the queen in the palace. This wedding was completely their prince's wishful thinking.

When the matter in the palace was mentioned just now, the princess looked as if she didn't care at all.

But now when talking about entering the palace, she immediately became energetic.

Sure enough, the princess' heart is still with the emperor.

Poor prince, he was infatuated with the wrong person after all...

Song Shiyan and Chi Tingwan needed to go to Empress Dowager Li's Ci'an Palace to express her gratitude. She got up early and waited there. She had also thought of the words to scold Chi Tingwan.

But after the court session, he only received the news that the Regent Princess was not feeling well and the time for thanksgiving might be delayed.

Empress Dowager Li immediately smashed a set of tea sets and scolded Song Xuanchu, who came to pay his respects to Ci'an Palace later.

Song Xuanchu was also in a bad mood. He was looking forward to meeting Chi Tingwan today. But when he got to the end of the court, he was stopped by his good uncle.

He openly stopped in front of his imperial sedan chair and calmly said that his princess was not feeling well today and might have to give thanks at a later time. He even said provocatively, "I'm sure the emperor and the queen mother won't mind."

In that situation, what else could he say? Of course, he could only go along with it and say that he didn't mind.

But he was the emperor. When his ministers stopped him from riding the dragon chariot, he could not get angry and had to use honorifics.

After paying his respects to the Emperor at Ci'an Palace, he was scolded by his own mother. Is there any emperor in the world who is more cowardly than him?

Song Xuanchu immediately smashed the newly replaced set of tea set to pieces in Ci'an Palace.

The palace servants dared not even breathe.

The Emperor and the Queen Mother are the two most respected people in the palace. If they get angry one after another, innocent people will inevitably be affected.

Who suffers the most when these two get angry? It's the lowly servants like them.

They could only pray in their hearts that the Prince Regent and Princess Regent would come to the palace as soon as possible to express their gratitude.

It was not until noon that Chi Tingwan and Song Shiyan finally arrived.

Just now when they were in the carriage, Song Shiyan told Chi Tingwan that he didn't have to kneel down when meeting Empress Dowager Li and Song Xuanchu. Not only did he have the right to meet the emperor without kneeling, he also held the imperial sword bestowed by the late emperor, the golden medal of immunity from death, and the dragon-patterned jade pendant that made him look like he was meeting the emperor.

With the jade pendant in hand, who would dare to make him kneel? However, he already had power, so the jade pendant was naturally useless.

He wouldn't mind giving it to his nominal wife.

Of course, the prerequisite is that she is willing to accept this favor.

He knew in his heart that Chi Tingwan would most likely still be respectful to Queen Mother Li. After all, her heart and eyes were full of Song Xuanchu. How could she not be respectful to his mother?

But to Song Shiyan's surprise, Chi Tingwan only performed the bow.

Wanfu Li: One of the most common etiquettes for women in ancient times. Women need to place their hands in the middle of their chests. Make fists with both hands, and place the right fist on top of the left fist, moving it up and down slightly. Lower your head slightly, bend your knees slightly, and say "Wanfu" while performing the salute.

Queen Mother Li's face turned blue with anger. Little bitch, you just married into the Prince Regent's Palace and you dare to put on airs. How dare you not kneel and bow to the Queen Mother?!

Song Xuanchu's eyes flashed with complex expressions. Sure enough, Wanwan was still angry with him. No wonder she didn't make a fuss yesterday, but she was still angry today and didn't come to thank him...

Empress Dowager Li clenched her hands tightly under her sleeves and forced herself to smile kindly, "I have been waiting for you since early morning. I learned that Wanwan was not feeling well, and I was worried all morning. Now she is feeling better."

Chi Tingwan lowered his eyes and covered his lips, pretending to be tired. "The Queen Mother Meng is worried about me, but I just didn't sleep well. It's all because of the prince making a fuss."

Song Shiyan was a little surprised. From her tone, it seemed like she really regarded him as her husband.

Those who don't know the inside story may really think that they were in love last night. But he was in the study until the 11th hour last night, handling government affairs. After finishing, he went straight back to his room to rest. Everyone in the mansion knew that he did not stay at Chi Tingwan's place.

Chou time: equivalent to 1 a.m. now.

Song Xuanchu's face looked very ugly. How could she act so close to the emperor's uncle in front of him?

Even if you want to gain the trust of the emperor's uncle, isn't it too much?

"The princess is not feeling well, so I will take him back to the palace. I beg the Queen Mother and the Emperor to forgive me."

Forgiveness, bullshit! He kept calling me "this king" and his tone showed no intention of negotiation. Is this forgiveness? !

Song Xuanchu was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He felt that he was really about to lose control.

Queen Mother Li forced a smile, "Are you in such a hurry to leave? I have ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare a lot of good wine and delicious food. Most of the dishes are Wanwan's favorites. Come to think of it, I haven't seen Wanwan for nearly half a month. I was thinking of having a good chat with her today."

"Wanwan also misses the Empress Dowager. It's a pity that she is not in good spirits today." Chi Tingwan's eyes were full of regret. "Alas, in the final analysis, it's all Wanwan's fault for not being in good health and spoiling the Empress Dowager's mood."

Empress Dowager Li's face stiffened slightly. When did this bitch become so good at pretending? Could it be that her previous obedience in front of her was all an act?

Could it be that after marrying into the Regent's Palace, she found that Song Shiyan treated her very well and changed her mind, no longer willing to be used by her and the emperor?

Queen Mother Li's eyes were slightly cold. If she really betrayed them, she wouldn't mind ending her life in advance!

"If the princess is really that unwell, we need to take a good look at her." Song Xuanchu ordered expressionlessly, "Come here. Invite all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital to come and see the princess."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. However, the title of Your Majesty is a bit too unfamiliar." Song Shiyan held Chi Tingwan's hand tightly, "Wanwan is already my wife. Now we are a family. Your Majesty should call her the Imperial Aunt."

Song Xuanchu's expression suddenly froze.

Empress Dowager Li smiled happily, "Yes, Your Majesty. Wanwan was indeed your cousin in the past. But now she is married to your uncle. We still need to clarify the relationship between the generations."

Song Xuanchu stared at Chi Tingwan the whole time. He wanted to see Chi Tingwan resist Song Shiyan. He wanted to see her look disappointed and sad.

But her expression never changed. She let Song Shiyan hold her hand. She didn't look reluctant at all.

If he had not received the confirmed news that the marriage was not consummated, he would have suspected that Chi Tingwan had fallen in love with someone else.
